💉 Suggested Bolus

No bolus insulin needed for liquor itself, but monitor blood sugar closely and adjust insulin for meals consumed with alcohol.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled vegetables – Low in carbs and high in fiber, helping to moderate blood sugar levels.
• Zucchini noodles with pesto – Provides a satisfying low-carb alternative to pasta, keeping blood sugar stable.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken salad – High in protein and low in carbs, supporting stable blood glucose levels.
• Beef steak with asparagus – Protein-rich and virtually carb-free, aiding in blood sugar control.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Dry red wine – Lower in carbohydrates and may have a less dramatic impact on blood sugar levels.
• Spirits with sugar-free mixers – Eliminates the sugar found in regular mixers, reducing overall carbohydrate intake.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal immediate impact on blood sugar as liquor contains no carbs unless mixed with sugary beverages.
• 30–60 min: Blood sugar effects depend on the mixers used. Pure spirits alone do not contribute to blood sugar rise.
• 2–3 hr: Potential hypoglycemia if consumed in excess without adequate food due to alcohol's impact on liver glucose output.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume with a meal to slow the absorption of alcohol and minimize potential hypoglycemia.
